8.8.2.6 PssFileMaintCOM

This COM object handles general file housekeeping functions. It contains the transaction used

by the POSInterface to purge files from the Processed File Area, the transaction to move the

PssTransactionFile from the Transfer area after the POS has processed it, and the transaction that

emulates the POS (Converts PSSTransactionFile to POSTransactionFile)

It contains the following functions:

Function Transaction Activator

CleanupPssTransFile P2P201 PssFileMonitorSvc

CleanupArchiveArea P2P298 WindowsNT Scheduler/WaveWorks

SENDTX

ConvertSItoSO P2P299 PssFileMonitorSvc

8.8.2.7 Windows NT Scheduler

PSS uses the native scheduler inWindowNT to schedule a purge of files from the

ProcessedFileArea area. During PSS installation, a scheduled task named PurgeFiles is placed

in the Windows NT \Tasks folder which is scheduled to activate transaction P2P298 daily to

purge the files. The FileHouseKeeping system settings are used to control the purge activity.

8.8.3 POS Interface Configuration

Configuration of the POS Interface for a specific store environment is achieved by modification

of PSS System Settings and by implementation of User Exit routines supported by the POS

Interface Applications. Changes to configuration items are made using the System Settings page

on the System Administration Terminal. That page contains a detailed description of each

system setting item with information that identifies valid values for the item. The page also

contains a default value for each item.

The settings for the POS interface are divided into the following four areas

• settings that apply subsystem-wide to the POS interface

• settings that apply to the processing of specific file types

• settings that affect the operation of the NT Services used by the POS Interface

• settings that apply to a specific POS system (IBM 4680/90).

After modifying a system setting value, the link at the bottom of the system-setting page,

Re-Initialize PSS System, must be activated to cause the modified setting to be recognized by the

PSS software. The PssPosService must be stopped and restarted after changing any

4POSSINTERFACE settings.
